1 Joan 2
1 Ene haourtoác, gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiçuet, bekaturic eztaguiçuençát: eta baldin cembeitec eguin badu bekaturic, badugu aduocatbat Aita baithara, Iesus Christ iustoa.
My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 Eta hura da appoinctamendua gure bekatuacgatic, eta ez gureacgatic solament, baina mundu guciarenacgatic-ere
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
3 Eta hunetan daquigu ecen hura eçagutu dugula, baldin haren manamenduac beguira baditzagu.
It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
4 Norc erraiten baitu, Eçagutu dut hura: eta haren manamenduac ezpaititu beguiratzen, gueçurti da, eta eguiá ezta hura baithan:
Whoever says “I know him,” but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
5 Baina norc beguiratzen baitu haren hitza eguiazqui hura baithan Iaincoaren amorioa complitu da: huneçaz daquigu ecen hura baithan garela.
But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
6 Norc erraiten baitu hura baithan dagoela, behar du, nola hura ebili baita, hala hainac-ere ebili
whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
7 Anayeác, eztrauçuet manamendu berribat scribatzen, baina manamendu çahar hatseandanic vkan duçuena: manamendu çaharra hatseandanic ençun vkan duçuen hitza da.
Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
8 Berçalde manamendu berribat scribatzen drauçuet, cein baita eguiazco hartan eta çuetan: ceren ilhumbea iragan baita, eta eguiazco arguiac ia eguiten baitu argui.
Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
9 Norc erraiten baitu ecen arguian dela, eta bere anayeri gaitz baitaritzá hura ilhumbean da oraindrano.
The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
10 Bere anayeri on daritzana arguian dago, eta scandaloric ezta hura baithan.
The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
11 Baina bere anayeri gaitz daritzana, ilhumbean da, eta ilhumbean dabila, eta eztaqui norát ioaiten den: ecen ilhumbeac haren beguiac itsutu vkan ditu.
The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
12 Scribatzen drauçuet, haourtoác, ceren çuen bekatuac barkatu baitzaizquiçue haren icenagatic.
Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
13 Scribatzen drauçuet, aitác, ceren eçagutu baituçue hatsean-danic dena. Scribatzen drauçuet, gazteác, ceren gaichtoari garaithu baitzaizquiote. Scribatzen drauçuet, haour chipiác, ceren eçagutu vkan baituçue Aita.
Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
14 Scribatu vkan drauçuet, aitác, ceren eçagutu baituçue hatsean-danic dena. Scribatu drauçuet, gazteác, ceren borthitz baitzarete, eta Iaincoaren hitza çuetan egoiten baita, eta gaichtoari garaithu baitzaizquiote.
Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
15 Eztuçuela maite mundua, ez munduco gauçác: baldin cembeitec maite badu mundua, ezta Aitaren amorioa hura baithan.
Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
16 Ecen munduan den gauça gucia (hala nola, haraguiaren guthiciá, eta beguien guthiciá, eta vicitzearen arrogantiá) ezta Aitaganic baina da munduaganic.
For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
17 Eta mundua iragaiten da, eta haren guthiciá, baina Iaincoaren vorondatea eguiten duena dago seculacotz. (aiōn g165)
And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Haourtoác, azquen dembora da: eta nola ençun vkan baituçue ecen Antechrist ethorteco dela, oraindanic-ere Antechristac anhitz dirade: nondic baitaquigu ecen azquen demborá dela.
My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
19 Gure artetic ilki içan dirade baina etziraden gutaric: ecen baldin gutaric içan balirade, gurequin egon ciratequeen: baina haur eguin içan da manifesta ledinçát ecen guciac eztiradela gutaric.
These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
20 Baina çuec baduçue vnctionea Sainduaganic, eta eçagutzen dituçue gauça guciac.
You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
21 Eztrauçuet scribatu vkan, eguiá eçagutzen eztuçuelacotz: aitzitic ceren hura eçagutzen duçuen, eta gueçurric batre ezpaita eguiatic.
I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
22 Nor da gueçurti, Iesus dela Christ vkatzen duena baicen? hura da Antechrist, ceinec Aita eta Semea vkatzen baititu.
Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
23 Norc-ere vkatzen baitu Semea, harc Aita-ere eztu: norc-ere aithortzen baitu Semea, harc Aita-ere badu.
No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
24 Beraz hatsean-danic ençun vkan duçuena çuetan hego: ecen baldin çuetan badago hatseandanic ençun vkan duçuena, çuec-ere Semea baithan eta Aita baithan egonen çarete.
As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
And this is what he himself promised us – eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
26 Gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiçuet, çuec seducitzen çaituztenéz.
In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
27 Baina harenganic recebitu vkan duçuen vnctionea dago çuetan, eta eztuçue mengoaric nehorc iracats çaitzaten: baina vnctione berac gauça guciéz iracasten çaituzten beçala, eta eguiati da, eta ezta gueçurti: eta vnctioneac iracatsi çaituzten beçala, hartan egonen çarete.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
28 Orain bada, ene haourtoác, çaudete hartan: aguer dadinean assegurança dugunçát, eta haren aitzinean confus ezgarençát haren aduenimenduan.
Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
29 Baldin badaquiçue ecen hura iusto dela, iaquiçue ecen norc-ere iustitia eguiten baitu, hura harenganic iayo dela.
Since you know he is righteous, you realize that everyone who does what is right is his child.
